Absolutely loved visiting the palace! Such royal architecture and neat work done in decorating the palace! It is said that the zamindar of Balihar was one of the famous zamindars of Naogaon district of Rajshahi division.I think this fact makes the place more remarkable. Also, there are innumerous carvings on the walls of the temples situated there which are too mesmerizing to look at! These crafts are acting as the decoration for the temple

Visited the place long back a few years ago and must say its such an aesthetic place! Went there with my family and it's also a children friendly place as there’s a zoo upfront consisting of tigers,bears,monkeys and deers. I’ve heard that the temple inside the palace is now used for worshipping and there are two huge Shivlings at the back side of the palace. Very family friendly and aesthetic place in conclusion!
